My 2018 Year in Review And How It’s Done

At the start of each new year, I take time to review the year that has gone by. In 2018, I took the whole of Christmas off work to spend with my family, so my planning for 2019 started well into January. And as my friend and productivity ninja Grace Marshall says, that’s ok.

8th Jan. First working day of the year for me. No I’m not hitting the ground running. No I’m not playing catch up. No I haven’t got 2019 all planned out – I’ll start that thinking this week. If you haven’t either. That’s ok. Because it’s up to you how and when you start.

In this blog post, I wanted to start by sharing my process for doing my annual review.

I then want to share my thoughts on my own experiences in 2018. I hope you find it interesting as you reflect on your own plans, learning, goals and aspirations, but if you don’t — just remember this article is essentially an exercise for me, not you. Your own annual review will be much more interesting for you!
